Nissan Marches on Washington with the NAACP

Nissan Partners With NAACP During 50th Anniversary March on Washington
Commemoration

NASHVILLE, TN--Aug. 23, 2013: Nissan announced today that it will
partner with the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People
(NAACP) as part of the 50th Anniversary of the March on Washington
scheduled for Saturday, Aug. 24, 2013. Nissan will honor the NAACP as they
welcome an anticipated 150,000 march participants from across the
country.

This weekend's events commemorate the 50th anniversary of the 1963 March
on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, a seminal moment in American history
where hundreds of thousands of citizens converged on the National Mall in
Washington, D.C., to speak out for civil rights and racial equality. The
participants marched from the Washington Monument to the Lincoln Memorial,
where later that day Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. inspired the nation with
his famous "I Have a Dream" speech.

"Nissan and our 20,000 U.S. employees proudly support the NAACP and the
50th Anniversary March on Washington commemoration," said Rob Wilson,
Nissan's director of Diversity and Inclusion. "This event is a celebration
of diversity, community and inclusion. We live by these values every day at
Nissan, and our success demonstrates what a talented and diverse workforce
can accomplish."

Earlier this summer, Nissan sponsored events commemorating the life of
Medgar Evers, an NAACP organizer who was assassinated at his home in
Jackson, Miss., in 1963. The company also enjoys a close relationship with
Myrlie Evers, civil rights leader and widow of Medgar, who recently visited
Nissan's manufacturing facility in Canton.
